My mother-in-law gets Family Circle every month and on the cover of July's issue was a picture of a cupcake - I just thought that it was taken up-close, but no - it was a giant cupcake pan (from Wilton)! I knew that I wanted one right away - how much fun is that? It takes almost 2 cake mixes and you cook the top and the bottom separately and then "glue" them together with frosting. It worked like a charm and Elaina loved it. I was surprised on how easy it was to do.

Elaina had a pretty good birthday. We did a lot of her favorite things - she got to eat Lucky Charms for breakfast, we went and picked out some balloons, we went out to eat at McDonalds, went to Kungfoo Panda and opened presents and ate birthday cake. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she said she wanted candles. It's fun when their requests are so simple!

Although we'd like to think of this blog as an entertaining assemblage of smart antidotes and funny thoughts, we have to admit that most of the time it's all about the kiddos. They are the sweetest things that have ever happened to us.
